Use the ships log computer to give you an objective. It should have some areas filled in now from your exploring. Find something to do from there.

Once you start blasting off with an objective it becomes so much more fun.

You haven't been playing wrong, but the transition from aimlessly exploring to "going out on a mission" is something that loses people.

For gog games you can check the digital signature on the installer to make sure it's legit. It should be signed by GOG.

What exactly would you gain privacy wise from a 3rd party client? All communication goes through their servers anyway. I believe even voice calls go through their server and aren't p2p.

Not really as hiding dns alone doesn't give you a big increase in privacy. Your isp can see what sites you visit immediately after anyway.

It could be argued that sending all your dns requests to a 3rd party by default is actually a decrease in privacy.

That's basically it. They keep control. They can charge subscriptions. They own it. Not you.

That's because it's not public. We are just guessing.

Both devs haven't said why they are immediately removing ads from their apps.

It's just a guess that it's a condition of reddit giving them free api access for a few months.

To me, Reddit's policy seems to be driven as much by spite as anything else.

Yep I agree. No reason to force them to remove their own advertising.

[-] deluxeparrot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

My guess since both apps doing this model have immediately removed their own advertising is that they are exempt from the api pricing for a few months.

I can't see either dev cutting off their revenue stream (app ads) and then eating the api cost on the same day. Especially if users swarm to them as they are the last standing 3rd party app on their platform. Individuals wouldn't take on that kind of liability.

This seems quite clever by Reddit. It looks like there's some deal that if they remove ads from their apps they get free api usage for a few months. Seems suspicous that both apps doing this have removed ads.

This will soften the blow a little for Reddit as now at least 1 decent sized 3rd party app on each platform (Android/IOS) will continue to work for a while.

A clever PR move that changes nothing.
